Spravato® for Treatment-Resistant Depression in Lakewood Ranch, FL
For people with severe depression that hasn't responded to antidepressants, Spravato offers a clinically proven alternative. FDA-approved as an esketamine nasal spray, it acts on the glutamate system rather than serotonin, and many patients experience meaningful relief within days rather than weeks. When someone is genuinely struggling, that speed matters.
Because Spravato can cause temporary sedation, it is administered in our Lakewood Ranch office under direct medical supervision. Most patients follow twice-weekly sessions for four weeks, then transition to a maintenance schedule based on their individual response. Every session is monitored by our clinical team from arrival through discharge.
We verify your insurance before your first appointment. Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, and most major plans accepted.
